Description

This Amarone is made with Corvina Veronese grapes (45% to 95%) and Rondinella (from 5% to 30%), however it's allowed the use of Corvinone to a maximum of 50% instead of the percentage of Corvina. The best grapes are harvested late, rested on racks and drowned in a dry and well-ventilated environment until January. The pressing is done in the dry period of February, with maceration and fermentation called "a cappello", submerged for about one month at a temperature of 5-15°C. Then it is pulled and left to complete the lactic fermentation. In the following months, it is transferred to medium and small capacity barrels. Could be sold only after three years of aging.

Vinification and refinement

Garnet color with a very intense and full-bodied appearance. The fragrance is intense, ethereal and very pronounced. Remember dry plum, with vanilla hues wildflowers. The flavor is full, very warm and rich in structure.

Food paring

It accompanies meat dishes, especially red. It is particularly exhilarated if it is accompanied by skewers and games. Pour into a decanter and serve at a temperature of 68°F (or 18°C).
